UNSPSC 50586753: Non GMO seneca dawn corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca dawn corn. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

The code appears in the context of larger bids encompassing produce, fresh vegetables, and commodity food items rather than as a standalone specialty-corn acquisition. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices sourcing for institutional food services.
